Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Du Yuming, the third young master of the clan, is a playboy, but he never dared to play with a lady of her caliber like Yue Xuexia. In fact, he was in the Crowned Regent Hotel when this stunning woman sent the young master of the Shi Clan to hell.

Yue Xuexia said, "Du Yuming of Du Clan? I see. If I'm not wrong, you should be a friend of that retard."

"Please don't get me wrong, Lady Yue. I am only an acquaintance of Young Master Shi, but we are never friends. I am not evil like him. I never force or coerce anyone. I swear to God," Du Yuming said.

Yue Xuexia said, "No need to be too afraid. I don't care about those who never block my way like that dead fool. Forget about this; I want a membership in your bar as I need to enter to meet someone inside. How much should I deposit?"

"The minimum is only a million, Lady Yue. How much should I prepare?" Du Yuming asked with his usual business smile.

Yue Xuexia said, "Enough for my whole group, including my bodyguards. I will deposit 100 million for now."

"I will prepare everything right away," Du Yuming said.

After a brief moment of shock, Du Yuming gave the order to his staff to get ready to create one hundred VIP membership cards. Tan Bingyu simply handed her mistress's black card to her as payment. The process of obtaining the one hundred membership cards was completed in an instant, and Yue Xuexia gave one to each of her siblings and niece.

Yue Xuexia warned. "Inside, you can do as you want as long as you don't break the law. If someone wants to harm you, just ask the bodyguards for help. Don't drink too much."

The three of them responded, "Yes."

"You can go in now," Yue Xuexia said.

After getting this bar's membership card, Yue Jixia, Yue Ruxia, and Xia Ruxia went inside; almost half of the bodyguards after them in close but indirect pursuit. Yue Xuexia remained outside the entrance until she noticed Chen Yiling, who had just left the bar in search of her.

"Xiaxia! Xiaxia, where are you?" Chen Yiling calls.

Yue Xuexia said this to the owner of the bar. "I will take my leave. You can pass the card to my secretary, Tan Bingyu. I shall take my leave."

"Please enjoy yourself, Lady Yue," Du Yuming said with a business smile. He also took his leave after he properly served this dangerous lady.

Chen Yiling was taken aback to witness this young master conversing with Yue Xuexia, even though she was aware that Du Yuming was not only the proprietor of this bar but also a member of one of the four great clans.

"Xiaxia, you are here," Chen Yiling said as she observed all the eyes watching at Yue Xuexia from a distance.

Yue Xuexia only nods her head lightly in response.

Chen Yiling didn't mind her silence and said, "Let's go in. Yiran had arrived early. Let's go to our table inside. Did you buy a membership card just now? How many did you buy for him to come over himself?"

"A bit of a hundred," Yue Xuexia answered, leaving Chen Yiling dumbfounded. A hundred memberships means 100 million, as an ECAH membership is bought per million. "Let's go inside."

Chen Yiling shook her head and woke up to reality. "Ah, oh. Let's go in."

After entering the bar together, Yue Xuexia and Chen Yiling noticed that the interior was designed like a villa, with a private table and a public one near the dance floor. VIPs were granted access to higher floors, and the more money added to a card indicated how important one's standing was. Since Chen Yiling could only afford the mid-level private room, Yue Xuexia's card could occupy a high-level VIP one. When Yue Xuexia noticed the middle level's layout, she instructed Chen Yiling to convert an ordinary room into a high-class one.

"Ask Hu Yiran to move to the upper floor. There are fewer people in the VIP rooms. Let's occupy a room there. Is it Only Hu Yiran who came?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Chen Yiling answered with a helpless expression on her face. "Her husband came too. It's the same old one from our high school days."

"They still end up together," Yue Xuexia said.

Chen Yiling sighed. "Yes. Nothing can be done anymore. She can only live with that bastard as she doesn't want divorce."

"That's her choice. Ask them to come up," Yue Xuexia said as she rode an elevator to the highest floor.

As soon as they went out of the elevator, the room to the VIP area was blocked by two guards. Yue Xuexia showed her card nonchalantly, and the guards opened the door for her.

Yue Xuexia reminded, "Two more with me coming up. A couple. Let them in if they come looking for Yue or Chen Yiling."

"Yes, Miss. Please go ahead inside. The staff in the room will serve you," the guards said.

While her siblings and niece remained in the public area to dance and drink as they pleased, Yue Xuexia entered with some of her bodyguards, led by Tan Bingyu, but they remained a safe distance away from her. The bodyguards in the area will keep her siblings and niece safe. Yue Xuexia chose a corner location that could overlook the lower floor from this location. The visit area's table is made of expensive wood, and the seats are made of soft couches—a long couch for groups and a single couch for individuals who want to sit alone. Xuexia sat on a single couch and gestured with her finger, prompting a staff member to come take her order with a formal demeanor.

"What would you like to have, my lady?"

"Shirley Temple," Yue Xuexia answered.

Chen Yiling added, "Whiskey. Give us a bottle. Vodka Cranberry and Daiquiri."

"As you wish!" The staff who received their orders headed to the bar counter to get their orders.

Chen Yiling said, "Yiran said that they are on the way up." Then she saw the door opening again, welcoming a pair of guests. She recognized them as Hu Yiran and his husband, Xu Xingju.

"They are here. Let me take them to our seats," Chen Yiling said.

As if aware of the disparity in their group's position, Yue Xuexia simply hummed in response, and Chen Yiling rose up. It appears that Du Yuming, the owner, instructed the personnel in the VIP Area to treat Yue Xuexia with the highest consideration and attention.

The staff placed her drink before her and said, "Anything else you want, my lady."

"Get me salty and sweet snacks," Yue Xuexia said.

The staff smiled and professionally accepted her order. In just a few minutes, a few plates of various sweet and salty desserts had been served for her to eat.

Yue Xuexia said, "I will call you if I need you."

Yue Xuexia took a sip of her drink and looked over the scene below, actually spotting her siblings and niece here. Yue Jixia is drinking in silence; in her glass is a red wine. As for the two young ladies, they are enjoying the dance floor. Yue Xuexia could not help but smile at this scene. The staff lowered his back and back off a few meters and stood by their table like a loyal butler. The owner prioritizes her above all customers.

A voice comes from behind her: "Xiaxia, is that you?"

When Yue Xuexia turns around, she sees Hu Yiran staring at her with a shocked expression, and Xu Xingju's eyes widen in shock as well. Yue Xuexia's current appearance almost makes her look like a fairy, unlike the person they used to know.

Yue Xuexia nods her head as an answer to Hu Yiran's question. "Take your seat."

The three of them took their seats. They sat on a long couch as a group and stared at Yue Xuexia, who remained calm under their gaze.

Xu Xingju asked in disbelief. "Are you really Yue Xuexia?"

"You want me to tell you how many times you almost broke up with Yiran?" Yue Xuexia said.

Hu Yiran said, "How many times?"

"Three times in high school. Five times after graduation. Two times before your 18th birthday," Yue Xuexia answered.

It was not until later that Hu Yiran and Xu Xingju realized that the stunning woman in front of them was, in fact, Yue Xuexia. The numbers indeed support her identity; however, I did not include the bit about their friendship ending after Hu Yiran's birthday.

Yue Xuexia said to Hu Yiran. "I failed to attend Aunt Hu's funeral. Forgive me."

"It's okay, Xiaxia. Your family situation at that time is not good. I understand. I also failed to invite you to my wedding. Please don't get angry. I thought you wouldn't come," Hu Yiran said.

Yue Xuexia said, "I definitely can't come at those times. I don't mind. Tell me why you asked me to come here."

Hu Yiran, Xu Xingju, and Chen Yiling looked at one another before leaving it to Chen Yiling.

She said, "It was actually about our batch reunion. We would like to invite you to attend it, if you aren't busy. It will be three days from now, at the Crowned Regent Hotel. Will you be able to come?"

"How much is the distribution?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Hu Yiran said, "It's nothing much. Just a few thousand. We will only reserve an ordinary hall and a buffet."

"I see. Return the money. I will arrange a royal hall for you. Everything will be free. Just enjoy the reunion," Yue Xuexia asked.

Chen Yiling said, "There is no need for you to pay everything. We can split the bill with everyone."

"No need. The Crowned Regent Hotel is mine," Yue Xuexia said nonchalantly.

The three individuals seated across from Yue Xuexia stared at her in shock, not knowing how to respond to what they had just heard. What was the Crowned Regent Hotel, a five-star establishment that is one of only three in the nation and the most well-known? The owner of such a large hotel was standing right in front of them, and they had no idea how to respond.

Yue Xuexia ignored their expression and said, "I will inform Executive Manager Zhang about it. It's three days from now, right?"

Xu Xingju responded, "Yes."

But his attention remains fixed on the woman in front of him. He noticed Tan Bingyu, who was sitting not far from their table, making a phone call as soon as she heard what Yue Xuexia had to say. Presumably, this woman was Yue Xuexia's secretary, and Zhang, the executive manager of the Crowned Regent Hotel, was the person being called. It was only a matter of minutes after Xu Xingju's phone rang. After all, the reservation they had made earlier was made in his name.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

Xu Xingju answered his phone, and the man on the other side is someone from the Crowned Regent Hotel, as the number that flashed on his phone screen was that hotel's hotline.

"Hello?"

[Is this Sir Xu Xingju who reserved an ordinary hall in our hotel for a reunion?]

"Yes. It's indeed me. Is there a problem?"

[Please don't worry. It's nothing bad. The owner's secretary had made a call just now and informed the hotel to change the venue of your event. It will be transformed into a royal hall with an orchestra and a full-course buffet for your hall. It is free of charge. The changes will be sent to your email. Please answer the questionnaire before the re-served date arrives. That will be all. Goodbye!]

Executive Manager Zhang of the Crowned Regent Hotel ended the call, and a few minutes later, Xu Xingju received a message from his bank informing him that the money he had sent to the hotel had been refunded. Xingju looked at Yue Xuexia, looking shocked.
